NASHVILLE (AP) - Some state lawmakers say they will continue to pursue less regulation on guns despite a colleague's arrest last week on alcohol and gun charges.

Sen. Stacey Campfield told the Chattanooga Times Free Press that no one is advocating changes to the state's alcohol laws after Rep. Curry Todd's arrest so Campfield doesn't see the need for changes to the gun laws (http://bit.ly/qc3FQb ).

Todd faces charges of DUI, possessing a handgun while intoxicated and violating Tennessee's implied consent law by refusing to submit to a Breathalyzer test.

The Collierville Republican was the architect of a new law allowing gun permit holders to carry their weapons in bars.

Lawmakers who advocate stricter gun control see Todd as a living illustration of the problems with lax regulation.
